Central El Paso man accused of having sex with underage girl to help her become a "porn star"

Police arrested a 23-year-old Central El Paso man after he allegedly posted ads on a website offering to help aspiring "porn stars."

Jacob Alejandro Martinez, whose address is listed in the 300 block of Chelsea Street, faces a charge of sexual performance by a child after he allegedly had sex with an underage girl who answered his ad.

Police accuse Martinez of posting ads on Craigslist seeking women in an effort to help them become porn stars. Martinez was allegedly contacted by the underage girl and induced her to engage in sexual conduct with him.

Police said communications between Martinez and the girl apparently took place between Oct. 29 and Nov. 25.

Members of the police and FBI Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Unit arrested Martinez on Thursday. He was booked into the El Paso County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Anyone who may have been in contact with Martinez regarding the Craigslist ad is asked to call police at 832-4400.
